Mediaite picks up a story about a man being shot in Quincy, Illinois. He actually talks to a junk food media reporter about his ordeal. Devon Hawkins speaks directly to KHQA's Reyna Harvey on live TV about what happened.

The shooting, which took place in the very early hours of this morning, came as a surprise to DeVon, who simply shrugged and said some people “probably want [him] dead” and are “on some other stuff.” A bullet flew through the window of the room he was “chillin’, kickin'” in and his first thought was to get his son out of the room rather than tend to his wound.

He lifted his shirt to showcase his bloody bandages, but the best part of the video might just be when Harvey kicks it back to the studio and an almost unfazed-looking Chad Douglas deadpans that the event was “incredible.”

Again, gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

Republicans and some squishy Democrats fear the wrath of the National Rifle Association.

Here we go again. It seems like meddling in your personal business or your refrigerator is Republican business. They want smaller government when it comes to polluting the water and air. Now they want to keep the poor and needy hungry by passing laws or modifying legislation to require the unable to work so they can earn food stamps.

I've listened to that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity bitch about 47 million Americans being on food stamps. The most ignorant quote comes from failed presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich said that President Barack Obama is the most successful "food stamp president".

Republicans and the Trumpublicans believe that the Obama economy is a disaster.

This populist behavior is scary for America. The White outrage machine is cranked to the max.

With unemployment leveling off, Republicans can now feel confident to take food stamps from those who can't support a family under $300 food stamp subsidies a month.

More than 1 million low-income residents in 21 states could soon lose their government food stamps if they fail to meet work requirements that began kicking in this month.

The rule change in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program was triggered by the improving economy — specifically, falling unemployment. But it is raising concerns among the poor, social service providers and food pantry workers, who fear an influx of hungry people.

Recent experience in other states indicates that most of those affected will probably not meet the work requirements and will be cut off from food stamps.

For many people, "it means less food, less adequate nutrition. And over the span of time, that can certainly have an impact on health — and the health care system," said Dave Krepcho, president and chief executive of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.

Advocates say some adults trying to find work face a host of obstacles, including criminal records, disabilities or lack of a driver's license.

The work-for-food requirements were first enacted under the 1996 welfare reform law signed by President Bill Clinton and sponsored by then-Rep. John Kasich, who is now Ohio's governor and a Republican candidate for president.

The provision applies to able-bodied adults ages 18 through 49 who have no children or other dependents in their home. It requires them to work, volunteer or attend education or job-training courses at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid. If they don't, their benefits are cut off after three months.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture can waive those work rules, either for entire states or certain counties and communities, when unemployment is high and jobs are scarce. Nearly every state was granted a waiver during the recession that began in 2008. But statewide waivers ended this month in at least 21 states, the largest group since the recession.

An Associated Press analysis of food aid figures shows that nearly 1.1 million adults stand to lose their benefits in those 21 states if they do not get a job or an exemption. That includes about 300,000 in Florida, 150,000 in Tennessee and 110,000 in North Carolina. The three states account for such a big share because they did not seek any further waivers for local communities.

n Tennessee, Terry Work said her 27-year-old deaf son recently was denied disability payments, meaning he is considered able-bodied. And that means he stands to lose his food stamps, even though she said her son has trouble keeping a job because of his deafness.

"I know there's going to be a lot of people in the county hurt by this," said Work, founder of Helping Hands of Hickman County, a social service agency in a community about an hour west of Nashville.

Nationwide, some 4.7 million food stamp recipients are deemed able-bodied adults without dependents, according to USDA. Only 1 in 4 has any income from a job. They receive an average of $164 a month from the program.

In states that already have implemented the work requirements, many recipients have ended up losing their benefits.

Wisconsin began phasing in work requirements last spring. Of the 22,500 able-bodied adults who became subject to the change between April and June, two-thirds were dropped from the rolls three months later for failing to meet the requirements.

Some states could have applied for partial waivers but chose not to do so.

North Carolina's Republican-led government enacted a law last fall accelerating implementation of the work requirements and barring the state from seeking waivers unless there is a natural disaster. State Sen. Ralph Hise said the state was doing a disservice to the unemployed by providing them long-term food aid.

"People are developing gaps on their resumes, and it's actually making it harder for individuals to ultimately find employment," said Hise, a Republican who represents a rural part of western North Carolina.

In Missouri, the GOP-led Legislature overrode a veto by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon to enact a law barring the state from waiving work requirements until at least 2019. The three-month clock started ticking Jan. 1 for 60,000 people in Missouri, where unemployment is down to just 4.4 percent.

"We were seeing a lot of people who were receiving food stamps who weren't even trying to get a job," said the law's sponsor, Sen. David Sater, a Republican whose Missouri district includes the tourist destination of Branson. "I know in my area you can find a temporary job for 20 hours (a week) fairly easily. It just didn't seem right to me to have somebody doing nothing and receiving food stamps."

Others say it's not that simple to find work, even with an improving economy.

Joe Heflin, 33, of Jefferson City, said he has been receiving food stamps for more than five years, since an injury ended his steady job as an iron worker and led to mental illness during his recovery. He said he gets nearly $200 a month in food stamps and has no other income. Heflin was recently notified that his food stamps could end if he doesn't get a job or a disability exemption.

"I think it's a crummy deal," Heflin said while waiting in line at a food pantry. "I think they ought to look into individuals more, or at least hear them out. ... I depend on it, you know, to eat."

Policymakers often "don't realize a lot of the struggles those individuals are dealing with," said Mariana Chilton, director of the Center for Hunger-Free Communities at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

Some are dealing with trauma from military service or exposure to violence and abuse, Chilton said. Others have recently gotten out of prison, making employers hesitant to hire them. Some adults who are considered able-bodied nonetheless have physical or mental problems.

A study of 4,145 food stamp recipients in Franklin County, Ohio, who became subject to work requirements between December 2013 and February 2015 found that more than 30 percent said they had physical or mental limitations that affected their ability to work. A similar percentage had no high school diploma or equivalency degree. And 61 percent lacked a driver's license.

"There should have been more thought on how we look at employment and not thinking that people are sitting there, getting food stamps because they are lazy and don't want to work," said Octavia Rainey, a community activist in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Some states have programs to help food stamp recipients improve their job skills. Elsewhere, it's up to individuals to find programs run by nonprofit groups or by other state agencies. Sometimes, that can be daunting.

Rainey said people who received letters informing them they could lose their food stamps sometimes were placed on hold when they called for more information — a problem for those using prepaid calling cards. And in Florida, food aid recipients received letters directing them to a state website for information.

"A lot of these folks, they don't have computers, they don't have broadband access," said Krepcho, the Central Florida food bank executive. "That's ripe for people falling off the rolls."

Say if you're disabled by being either deaf, blind, schizophrenic, allergic to an element, or terminally ill, there may be an ounce of sympathy towards these people. But given what Republicans are today, they wouldn't care.

When you're a felon in certain states, it's nearly impossible to get a job in the United States. Let alone you're a sexual offender and you're trying to find a job.

Blame the poor and needy for the economy. See the Republicans have love for the wealthy. They refuse to raise taxes on the rich. They refuse to increase Supplemental Nutrient Assistance Program to those who have no options

Hell I just had my rent go up in my crappy one bedroom apartment. I can't obtain food stamps because I make $1,340 a month in earnings at my job.

At best I make $25,000 a year working at my job. That's just slightly under middle class.

I can't even obtain food stamps because of that. I am single and have no children. I am able bodied and I still don't make enough.

The middle and lower class needs the safety net. It prevents them from robbing and looting stores.

Cause if you have to steal to keep food on the table, you probably would. Trust me, if the opportunities were given, the poor would steal from a grocery store if they couldn't have access to the safety nets. Believe me, you never know what happens until you become one of them!

If you're disabled, I guess that you better get better. Because you're going to need a job as well. If you're in need of a firearm, get one because you're going to need it.

In the minds of the racist right, some are fixated on those "gubmint" leeches taking out of their hardworking pockets. They don't see that less than 10% of the federal funds go to food stamps. Most of the federal funds go to either infrastructure and federal agencies.

With the rising costs of electricity, heat, food, gas, rent, necessities such as toilet paper are going up, more people are using safety nets. The more things that go up, the likelihood that many would resort to safety nets and food banks for assistance.

People on food stamps didn't cause an economic recession. The economy went under because of the auto, financial, housing and banking industry collapsing.

The most unusual feud in entertainment. Atlanta rapper/singer B.o.B taking on astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. This stemmed from an argument over the Earth. The rapper is a flat-earther and he's adamant about it.

I'm so shocked but not surprised that B.o.B would tick off one of the coolest nerds in the world.

B.o.B went to social media to talk about the Earth being flat. The rapper rejects claims about the Earth being round. He mocks the scientific community and it touched a nerve with Neil.

So on social media, Bobby Ray went to the Twitterverse to explain his thoughts on the Earth being flat.

So once again, Neil goes to The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore to drop the mic on B.o.B.

The scientist responded to a B.o.B. diss by schooling the rapper on exactly why he's wrong, making points about Calculus and B.o.B.'s "size" relative to Earth.

Neil deGrasse Tyson explains gravity to B.o.B by dropping the mic. He burned the Atlanta rapper.

"Isaac Newton, my man, said, 'If I have seen farther than others, it's by standing on the shoulders of giants.' Can I get an amen? So that’s right B.o.B. When you stand on the shoulders of those who came before, you might just see far enough to realize the Earth isn't fucking flat!"

He added, "And, by the way, this is called gravity!"

Neil let him have it. He said that influential celebrities such as B.o.B have a right to say the Earth is flat. But if you're broadcasting that to an audience who antagonizes common sense and reality, you've proven to the world you're an idiot. He basically said, entertainers such as B.o.B, as well as politicians (i.e. Donald Trump and Ted Cruz) are pretty much "Flatline".

The song that was posted by Neil was called Flat to Fact (a take on Back to Back by Drake).

It goes hard on Bobby Ray....

But what you're going to love is the video of Neil deGrasse Tyson on The Nightly Show.

Amber Rose basically said that Kanye loves to take it in the butt. She basically saying that he's into the fingers in the anal cavity.

Kanye denied this on social media before he deleted that as well.

"Exes can be mad but just know I never let them play with my ass," West wrote late Thursday. "I don't do that... I stay away from that area all together."

One minute later, West elaborated: "I'm not into that kind of shit," he tweeted. "I like pictures and videos Me and my wife got the kind of love that can turn exes into best friends."

Amber Rose discussed the ordeal in an interview to be released Friday. "I wouldn't have said anything if it was just between him and Wiz," she said on the Allegedly podcast. "That's two grown men hashing it out. That's their business. I would have kept it cute and just minded my business, but you don't bring in my baby. That's so corny."

Wiz while on tour basically said to his audience "fuck Kanye". He said that when you talk about his son, you're an enemy! "You better run, NIGGA!" says Wiz Khalifa.

Kanye is preparing for his seventh album titled Waves. It's going to be highly anticipated.

Wiz is also dropping Khalifa in February 4th. The album comes out a week before Waves comes out on February 11th.

It seems like Kim Kardashian is everywhere. The media loves her and her family. E! Entertainment is making her and her family very rich. Her mother Kris, the ex-wife of then Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner, her brothers and sisters roll deep with cameras in tow.

Video vixen and reality television star Blac Chyna spends the night in lockup after acting a fool on a plane.

Reality turd Tyga's baby mama Blac Chyna was busted in Austin, Texas.

Blac Chyna (known as Angela Renee White) is a model, entertainer and reality turd like the struggling rapper.

Apparently, she was totally drunk and belligerent when she was on flight to foreign soil.

She was flying from Los Angeles to London for personal appearance at Beorma Club.

Blac Chyna got into diva mode while on the plane.The plane had to divert to Austin and the law came on board and placed her in custody.

Here's how weird things get.

Blac Chyna is currently dating Rob Kardashian, the brother of Kim Kardashian-West and half brother of Kylie Jenner. Kylie is currently dating Tyga. Blac Chyna sparked a feud with Kim because of this relationship with her brother. She's best friends with rival Amber Rose.

Rihanna releases the eighth album ANTI on the Roc Nation and her Westbury Road label. This would be her first album since she left the Def Jam/Motown label early 2014.

Rihanna spent a couple of years preparing the fans for a masterpiece.

The record was made available for free digital download on January 28 through Tidal; it was released to online music stores for paid purchase on January 29 and is scheduled to be released to physical retailers on February 5.

Superstar in action. Rihanna is cashing in on success.

As executive producer, Rihanna collaborated with producers including Jeff Bhasker, Boi-1da, DJ Mustard, Hit-Boy, Brian Kennedy, Timbaland and No I.D. to achieve her desired sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily R&B record; it features guest vocals from longtime collaborator Drake and new partner SZA. "Work" was released as the lead single from the record on January 27, 2016. The album will be promoted with the upcoming Anti World Tour, scheduled to begin in February 2016.

This album already was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

The album has only Drake and Top Dawg Entertainment artist SZA.

Rihanna also decided to promote the album on tour. In February, she will have Travis $cott, Big Sean, and Oscar nominated singer The Weeknd join her.

The seventh debate is on that right wing network. This debate featured Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Chris Christie, and Rand Paul. It also had its undercard debate. It featured Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina, Rick Santorum, and Jim Gilmore.

What was missing was Donald Trump. Trump skipped the debate. The right wing network sparked a huge feud with Trump after he said that he felt Megyn "The Outrage Princess" treated him badly. Roger Ailes sent an inappropriate statement and it lead to Trump skipping it.

He went to Drake University to hold a rally. Santorum and Huckabee went to the rally in protest of being sent to the kiddie table. Trump asked for standing ovations for Santorum and Huckabee.

Trump is raising money to the veterans groups. He said that he's pretty confident that he won the debate even though he's not in attendance.

Trump's rally had protesters from the left and right interrupting him.

Okay, I am seriously so done with these pathetic debates. The Republicans are clueless and ignorant.

Donald Trump despite not appearing at the debate is leading strong in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Trump's controversial rhetoric is still a favorite among Republicans. He may be the true insurgent candidate. The establishment failed at stopping him at the gate. He's too strong and I fear the halo is over this guy's head.

I am serious. These candidates have no real plan to combat terrorism. The candidates have only one muscle to flex when handling terrorism. It's their goddamn tongues.

Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio refuse to give President Obama the authorization to go to war. You seriously believe that Democrats will give them an opportunity to get things done when they've blocked Obama.

Chris Christie and John Kasich brag too damn much about their inept leadership in New Jersey and Ohio. Christie is tanking in the polls. The bridge scandal and the recent handling of the monster snowstorm hit him hard. He's look upon an opportunist in his own state. He won't win his own state if he ran against Sanders or Clinton.

Kasich is facing scrutiny over the SB-5 law and the state prosecutors not handling the John Crawford and Tamir Rice situation. Kasich wouldn't win his own state if he ran against Clinton.

Jim Gilmore, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee and Carly Fiorina are perennial candidates and they're born losers. They have no chance given the toxic environment created by Trump and Cruz.

Ben Carson need to hang it up after the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary. He was on fire until they realized that he's such a bore. Matter of fact, Bush is a bigger bore because Republicans are tired of the Bush dynasty muscling its way into the White House. They hate the Clintons and Obamas like crazy, but Bush is not a legacy many Republicans talk about. Jeb Bush spends more than most of these candidates and still not breaking past fifth and sixth place. He's not his dad or brother. He's a milquetoast.

Joe Gliniewicz and wife Melodie. She is being held on charges of fraud and embezzlement. "G.I. Joe" created a media shit storm when he staged his own suicide and penned it on the Black man.

[Charles Joseph] "Joe" Gliniewicz, the Fox Lake, Illinois cop who staged his own death was a major story back in 2015. It came around the time that conservatives were attacking the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The conservatives were trying to link the activists to the murder of law enforcement.

Gliniewicz who many called "G.I. Joe", was a corrupt lawman. He was hanging around with the prostitutes. He was reckless with his service weapon. He was a drunk and some said that he would drink on the job. What may have tipped the FBI, was his record as an officer. He allegedly embezzled from the charities for youth services. He was taking paid time off without recording it. He also went out his way to have his wife and son get a piece of the action.

His wife was cheating on him with other men in the town and he allowed it. His son was involved in drugs and the whole town knew about it. They said that the Gliniewicz were swingers.

When he was about to be caught up, he threatened a Fox Lake village official.

50 is the new 30. Melodie Gliniewicz's mugshot shows she had some plastic surgery. She doesn't look like a 51 year old woman.

Allegedly, Melodie was using some of the embezzled cash for a makeover. Now she's being indicted on corruption by usage of her husband's theft of money from a group dedicated to getting kids interested in careers in law enforcement.

Melodie Gliniewicz, 51, say she is a "victim" of his "secret actions and looks forward to her day in court to show the world her innocence." That might be an uphill battle, says an ABC legal analyst. Joe Gliniewicz had posted plenty of photos to social media showing him and his wife enjoying their lavish lifestyle, and "it's going to show that she should have had reason to believe that these funds were stolen."

She faces six felony counts, including money laundering and disbursing charitable funds for personal benefit. Following Joe Gliniewicz's suicide on Sept. 1, investigators uncovered evidence that he had been embezzling money from the Fox Lake Police Explorer Post for years to pay for a lifestyle that far exceeded his $96,000-a-year salary, ABC7 reports. Joe Gliniewicz led the group, and his wife held "a fiduciary role as an adult adviser."

But the junk food media gave you the impression that Gliniewicz was a "hero". He penned the ambush on two white guys and Black guy.

Corrupt cop killed himself so his family would receive perks.

Gliniewicz is innocent until proven guilty.

The junk food media searched for weeks for the suspects. It was getting major play on the three networks, CNN, MSNBC and of course that right wing network.

When it turned out that the FBI said that ambush was a staged attack, conservatives got egg on their faces.

Of course, they continue to this day to attack #BlackLivesMatter as being anti-cop. They concern troll issues about "Black on Whatever" crime. They try to tie President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to the movement.

Actor Nate Parker directs and produces a movie based on the life of rebellion leader Nat Turner. The Birth of A Nation is coming to theaters and it's already getting praise. Given the situation surrounding the Oscars and the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry, many see this movie as a perfect timing.

The movie was not inspired by the KKK-theme movie produced by D.W. Griffith.

Parker who plays the role of slave-turned Baptist leader Nat Turner. Turner lead a revolt across Virginia killing White slave owners and led many slaves to the North. The Southampton revolt (known as the Nat Turner Rebellion) in August 1831. Led by Nat Turner, rebel slaves killed anywhere from 55 to 65 people, the highest number of fatalities caused by any slave uprising in the Southern United States. The rebellion was put down within a few days, but Turner survived in hiding for more than two months afterwards. The rebellion was effectively suppressed at Belmont Plantation on the morning of August 23, 1831.

There was widespread fear in the aftermath of the rebellion, and White militias organized in retaliation against the slaves. The state executed 56 slaves accused of being part of the rebellion. In the frenzy, many non-participant slaves were punished. At least 100 African Americans, and possibly up to 200, were murdered by militias and mobs in the area. Across the South, state legislatures passed new laws prohibiting education of slaves and free black people, restricting rights of assembly and other civil rights for free black people, and requiring white ministers to be present at all worship services.

Turner eluded capture by hiding in the woods until October 30, when he was discovered by a farmer named Benjamin Phipps, where he was hiding in a hole covered with fence rails. While awaiting his trial, Turner confessed his knowledge of the rebellion to attorney Thomas Ruffin Gray.

Nate Parker plays the role of Nat Turner, the rebellion leader of the Southampton massacre.

On November 5, 1831, he was tried for "conspiring to rebel and making insurrection", convicted and sentenced to death. Turner was hanged on November 11 in Jerusalem, Virginia. His body was flayed, beheaded and quartered. Turner received no formal burial; his headless remains were either buried unmarked or kept for scientific use. His skull is said to have passed through many hands, last being reported in the collection of a planned civil rights museum for Gary, Indiana, despite calls for its burial.

In the aftermath of the insurrection there were 45 slaves, including Turner, and five free blacks tried for insurrection and related crimes in Southampton. Of the 45 slaves tried, 15 were acquitted. Of the 30 convicted, 18 were hanged, while 12 were sold out of state. Of the five free blacks tried for participation in the insurrection, one was hanged, while the others were acquitted.

Soon after Turner's execution, Thomas Ruffin Gray took it upon himself to publish The Confessions of Nat Turner, derived partly from research done while Turner was in hiding and partly from jailhouse conversations with Turner before trial. This work is considered the primary historical document regarding Nat Turner.

The film The Birth of a Nation will be released to select theaters. The 2016 film uses the same title as "the title of D.W. Griffith's 1915 KKK propaganda film in a very purposeful way", said The Hollywood Reporter. Nate Parker said his film had the same title "ironically, but very much by design".

It's gotten praise for the graphic and historical take on Turner's rebellion. It is written, produced, and directed by Nate Parker, who also stars as Nat Turner. Parker wrote the screenplay and petitioned financiers to invest in the film. It ultimately had a $10 million production budget and was filmed in the U.S. state of Georgia in May 2015. Along with Parker, the film features Armie Hammer, Aja Naomi King, Jackie Earle Haley, Penelope Ann Miller, and Gabrielle Union.

The film premiered in competition at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2016. Fox Searchlight Pictures bought worldwide rights to the film in a $17.5 million deal, the largest deal at the film festival to date.

A group of White teens who attended Arizona's Desert Vista High School posed with t-shirts spelling the word NI**ER. The girls left out the Gs in the offensive word.

This picture sparked outrage and it put the girls on ice.

The girls were wearing the shirts for senior picture day when a larger group of students wrote letter tees and posed to spell out "Best You've Ever Seen Class of 2016."

Change.org petition calls for the girls to be sent home without diploma. There has been over 10,000 signatures according to the New York Daily News. Matter of fact, the principal is under fire as well.

The principal said that giving them 5 days of freezer burn is acceptable. Not according to the people who created the petition.

This hurtful use of a racial slur is a complete disregard for the dignity of the black community in Arizona and across the nation and the punishment does not fit the total ignorance and cruelty of the crime.

The people of Change.org demand the resignation of the school's principal, Christine Barela, immediately for deeming this "5-day vacation" from school an acceptable punishment.

The teens received a share of online bullying and death threats since.

There was a Phoenix city councilman who somewhat defended the girls. He said that they're idiots, but it shouldn't merit death threats and online harassment. Sal DiCicco posted on social media saying that school resource officers will try to calm the situation.

"They made a bad mistake as many teenagers do in life. But, any threats against these young women is going to be taken very seriously. The threats against these young girls is unacceptable."

For a few weeks, the law will monitor the school for potential threats upon the school and those attending.

Will the junk food media call these girls a bunch of thugs and miscreants?

Donald Trump's feud with that right wing network has gotten so much attention. Trump said that he refuses to participate in the network's debate after the executives ridiculed him for his concerns about the moderators.

Roger Ailes sent the statement that pissed Trump off.

We learned from a secret back channel that Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes the president - a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to these meetings.

Sooner or later Donald Trump, even if he's president, is going to have to learn that he doesn't get to pick the journalists - we're surprised he's willing to show that much fear about being questioned by Megyn Kelly.

This is bigger than Megyn "The Outrage Princess" Kelly.

When Ailes fired off that shot, he pretty much let the monster loose. That network created the monster now they're stuck with it. Trump not attending this debate will hurt their ratings.

Ratings are usually high when Republicans get to see all the candidates. Without Trump, the ratings will take a major hit. And to make this clear, they added Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) back to the stage despite him trailing at 3% or less. Paul had the audacity to say "good riddance" to Trump. He said that he's a charlatan and a phony conservative.

Pot calling the kettle black here. Cue the irony.

Paul boycotted the last debate and whined about that right wing network. There was no bitching from Ailes or Megyn "The Outrage Princess" Kelly.

Ailes has tried to calm the storm. He talked to the Trump family desperately pleading for him to come to the debate. Trump isn't bulging on his word.

Trump doesn't want to talk to Ailes. He ain't got time for Ailes. He wants Rupert Murdoch to settle this.

Bill O'Reilly defied Ailes and went on to interview Trump despite the feud.

Bundy's group, which has included people from as far away as Arizona and Michigan, seized the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 2 as part of a long-running dispute over public lands in the West.

Bundy is the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a high-profile 2014 standoff with the government over grazing rights.

There are conflicting accounts of the highway shooting. Nevada lawmaker Michele Fiore says Ammon Bundy called his wife and told her that Finicum was cooperating with authorities when he was shot, but sources tell the Oregonian that he resisted arrest and ignored an order to surrender.

This may spark the anti-gubmint movement. The White extremists may use this as a recruitment tool for their cause.

One occupier still at the refuge tells the New York Times that the plan now is to wait for sunlight "and see what's up." Jason Patrick says the mood is "prepared but calm," but he believes the FBI is "hellbent on war." "They said 'peaceful resolution,' but now there is a dead cowboy," he says.

Late word that Donald Trump is skipping the debate. Trump said he'll be fine.

If he showed up to the debate he would have appeared with Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, John Kasich and the crybaby Rand Paul.

Paul cried his way back to the main stage. He was throwing a hissy fit when he was banished to the kiddie table. He decided to not attend the previous debate.

The kiddie table debate will now include Jim Gilmore. He will join Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee and Carly Fiorina for the kiddie table.

He believes that Megyn "The Outrage Princess" will try to bait him with questions that may come off as a bias.

Will it hurt him with the supporters?

Already, Cruz, Paul, Carson, Christie and Bush went after him for not showing up.

On the AM agitators, I've heard the old fart Limbaugh and that Ratface Mark Levin go after Trump for saying he can be a deal maker with Democrats. They fear that his comments may have sealed his fate. Last week Megyn hosted a bunch of conservative agitators who denounced Trump as a viable candidate. That set Trump off. He swore on his grave that if Megyn was the moderator, he would not attend.

He stood by his word.

That annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity has been so far the biggest cheerleader for Donald Trump. I haven't heard much out of him yet. But on his right wing carnival he probably will address this issue. He is no fan of Megyn "The Outrage Princess" Kelly. After all Kelly took the spot he's occupied for 15 years.

Trump released a statement.

As someone who wrote of the best-selling business books of all time, The Art of the Deal, who has build an incredible company, including some of the most valuable and iconic assets in the world, and as someone who has a person net worth of many billions of dollars, Mr. Trump knows a bad deal when he sees one. Fox News is making tens of millions of dollars on debates, and setting ratings records (the highest in history), where as in previous years they were low-rated afterthoughts.

Unlike the very stupid, highly incompetent people running our country into the ground, Mr. Trump knows when to walk away. Roger Ailes and Fox News think they can toy with him, but Mr. Trump doesn't play games.

There have been six debates, and according to all online debate polls including Drudge, Slate, Time Magazine and many others, Mr. Trump has won all of them, in particular the last one. Whereas he has always been a job creator and not a debater, he nevertheless truly enjoys the debating process - and it has been very good for him, bot in polls and popularity.

He will not be participating in the Fox News debate and instead host an event in Iowa to raise money for the Veterans and Wounded Warriors, who have been treated so horribly by our all talk, no action politicians. Like running for office as an extremely successful person, this takes guts and it is the kind mentality our country needs in order to Make America Great Again.

Seriously, Trump has been a ratings cash cow for the agitators. That right wing network enjoyed a ratings bump because of his appearances.

Trump is clearly leading in the national polls but post-tantrum we'll see if he finally took a hit for all the outrageous and bona fide crazy.

Besides Trump and Paul. Back in 2007, then Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton along with John Edwards, and Bill Richardson decided to skip that network's Democratic debate in Nevada.

Ailes made an inappropriate comment about Obama. The Obama campaign said that they've had enough of the ignorance. They were skipping the debate. It didn't hurt him in the polls. Matter of fact, it helped him win the election.

Trump's bombastic rhetoric earned him the endorsements of Jerry Falwell, Jr., the president of Liberty University and Joe Arpaio, the controversial sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona.

Ex-cop plead guilty to murdering two women he met through online sex websites.

Wisconsin laid the hammer on a former cop who was accused of murdering two women and stuffing them inside suitcases. He was a cop who tried to trick prostitutes into having sex with him. When they refused to give him the services he needed, he would strangle them and try to stuff them inside suitcases and toss the suitcases in the woods.

He didn't think people explored the woods. One man working for the highway cleaning crew found the body of a 21-year old woman who he met a bar. Jenny Gamez from Oregon was found on a rural road. Later a second victim was discovered.

This cold blooded killer said the victim was a "sexual freak" and she was invested into the "strangling game". He claims that was an accident. Of course, the judge and jury didn't buy that excuse.

Laura Simonson, a 37-year old woman from Minnesota was murdered as well. He said that she was into the kinky stuff as well.

Steven Zelich, a 54-year old cop working for West Allis Police was served.

Kenosha is one of the two counties where, authorities said, Zelich told police he had killed Jenny Gamez, and Laura Simonson, accidentally during sexual encounters.

Jenny Gamez and Laura Simonson both died at the hands of a killer cop.

Authorities believe Zelich met both women online, killing Gamez during a bondage session at a hotel in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in late 2012 or early 2013 and Simonson at a hotel in Rochester, Minnesota, in November 2013.

Zelich is accused of keeping the two corpses in suitcases at his apartment in a Milwaukee suburb, where he was a police officer until 2001, as well as in the truck of his vehicle before he dumping them, court documents showed.

The suitcases containing the bodies were found in Walworth County, Wisconsin, in June 2014.

Zelich was charged in that county with two felony counts of hiding a corpse.

Additionally, he was charged with first-degree murder in Simonson’s death, according to court documents in Olmsted County, Minnesota, which includes Rochester.

When his sentencing is complete in Wisconsin, Zelich will be tried in Minnesota, Olmsted County Attorney Mark Ostrem said.

He plead guilty to the charges for a lesser sentence (of no less than the gas house). Now he's going to be sentenced to life in the iron college.

White extremist behind the Planned Parenthood undercover videos got served. David Daleiden and his female partner were indicted after they entered Planned Parenthood on false pretenses. They recorded confidential information in an attempt to target the group as nefarious in women's health.

The inept lawmakers in Congress continue this baseless attack on the family planning organization Planned Parenthood. The conservatives want Republicans to defund the organization because of videos that recorded executives saying that they would sell baby parts for a Lamborghini.

David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt will have a day in court. They face an indictment in Harris County, Texas for entering Planned Parenthood and trying to tampering with a governmental record.

They are innocent until proven guilty. These morons went into Planned Parenthood with hidden cameras as a phony group. They wore hidden cameras on their glasses and recorded members of Planned Parenthood explaining what they do for the health of women. They edited the videos to make it seem like they're advocating genocide of babies.

The Houston Chronicle reports that the probe began after the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group run by Daleiden, released footage of the Houston clinic as part of a series of videos showing Planned Parenthood officials casually discussing the methods and costs of preserving fetal tissue for scientific research. That prompted allegations that the organization was profiting off of tissue -- an allegation that was never proven -- and sparked calls for an investigation from Gov. Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton and others.

The Center for Medical Progress did not immediately return a message seeking comment Monday.

In the beginning Daleiden was "game on" when the organization threatened a lawsuit against him.

Now he and his partner may face 20 in the iron college and legal repercussions from employees who were fired out the cannon.

Planned Parenthood alleged that Daleiden and others used aliases, obtained fake government I.D.s, and formed a fake tissue procurement company in an effort to gain access to private areas and record private conversations to be deceptively edited to create a false impression.

The second indictment for Daleiden suggests that the grand jury found that he went too far in trying to get Planned Parenthood to admit to selling tissue. The crime, a class A misdemeanor is committed if a person intentionally offers to buy or offers to sell a human organ, including fetal tissue. If convicted, the maximum punishment is a year in jail.

That angered Bernie Sanders. He denounced the Planned Parenthood and HRC as establishment.

Sen. Sanders (I-VT) is running neck and neck against Clinton in this bitterly fought race for the Democratic nomination. He attracts more crowds than Clinton and hopes he can bring Democrats into his fold.

Sanders is a democratic socialist. He is a progressive who believes that the status quo is hurting the middle class. He believes that electing Clinton, Martin O'Malley and the Republicans would continue the bottom to top economics that caused the economy to crash.

Sanders supports Obama's policies and wants to do more for the country.

He knows that Republican and Democrats are trying to make the case that "socialism" is scary.

I happened to watch the NFC championship game between The Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals. The game was on Fox network and it was probably watched by 33 million. The X-Files reboot came right after the game.

The Panthers ran a train on the Cardinals. The Panthers will face the Denver Broncos in Superbowl L (50). They will play on February 7th at the Levis Stadium in Santa Clara, California Levis Stadium is home to the San Francisco 49ers.

The loss was hard for QB Carson Palmer and his team. The Panthers won 49 - 15 in an epic blowout.

Although we got a good laugh out of this, I want you to know that we need to understand that it's part of emotions that men have.

It's considered a stereotype among men. Men never should cry.

Men are often regarded as "strong and dominant". They are the protectors and enforcers. They are the leaders and the head of pride. They are the key to the door.

Of course, that's all bullshit.

Cam Netown poses with hip-hop acts Jeezy and Future.

We're living in a generation where men are still making twice as much than women. A man could make 3X more money than women for the same job. Women are rising in roles in business, government, technology and entrepreneurship. Single parents are leveling out but it's still exists in growing segments of urban America.

Men do cry.

John Boehner the former House Speaker was notorious for crying at events.

Oh, I forgot. Michael Jordan was at the Bank of America Stadium. Also Carolina QB Cam Netown was posing with rappers Jeezy and Future.

Donald Trump is going after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for handing out teddy bears and soccer balls to immigrants.

The civil war within the Republican Party has gotten uglier. The fight between business mogul Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has pitted conservatives against one another.

The key states of Iowa and New Hampshire, Trump and Cruz are leading in the primary polls with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ohio governor John Kasich, New Jersey's Chris Christie and Jeb Bush trailing from behind.

Many conservatives see that Trump and Cruz as the only candidate viable for them. But many establishment politicos believe that if they choose them, it could spell disaster for the party.

A couple dozen conservative agitators wrote in The National Review saying that Trump is not a conservative. Beck, Loesh, Bozell, Cal Thomas and Erick Erickson voiced concern that many agitators in the junk food media failed to vet Trump.

But could it be too late? The Trump supporters are calling them "sell-outs" and "traitors" to the cause.

The Republican National Committee chief Reince Priebus fired NR out the cannon. They were supposed to be a side sponsor to the failed NBC debate, but Priebus decided to end it for both NBC and NR. CNN will host the debate.

Trump's fiery rhetoric is destroying Cruz. Trump went after Cruz for being born in Canada and his support for immigration reform. Although Cruz is adamant against immigration reform, a couple years back he went to the border with Glenn Beck and handing out teddy bears and soccer balls.

Trump is likely going to use that to make Cruz seem like he's a hypocrite and part of the establishment.

Glenn Beck and Dana Loesh live in Dallas. They operate their television programs on TheBlaze Network. They often appear on other networks as commentators and they are the fourth and eighth most listened talk radio agitators respectfully.

Beck became one of the most high profiled endorsements for the controversial Texas senator. It was a rebuke to former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin's endorsement of Trump.

I am guessing BET is playing "Moving", "Mo Money", "Clueless" and Renaissance Man. These were movies Dash appeared in.

Rick Ross and Stacey Dash on the set of his music video.

Dash got slammed by her cousin Dame Dash, the former CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records. He says his cousin is doing "world class coonary"

She blasted Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee for boycotting the Oscars after they failed to nominate Black entertainers. Jada's husband Will Smith was snubbed in his role in Concussion.

Many agitators in the junk food media claim that Jada and Will's Overbrook Entertainment doesn't do enough for the Black community. They claim that now "they want to take action after it affects them".

For the record, Jada and Will have donated $$$$$$$$$$$ to charity and invested in working in the communities they've grown up in. Will grew up in Philadelphia and Jada grew up in Baltimore.

As usual the concern troll nonsense that drives attention from reality. Out of 2,900 awards being handed out, only 31 Black winners of the Academy Awards.

That's a real problem that needs to be solved.

Now that it's gotten attention, many of the detractors are working overtime to discredit #OscarsSoWhite and #BlackLivesMatter.
